ONE YEAR ON

A year ago our lives veered off in an uncertain direction. Uncertain, and full of risk and danger. Kelly was ill…seriously ill. A seizure, examinations, brain tumor (!), prayers, searching, choosing, prayers, travel, cancer (!!), surgery, prayers, recovery, therapies, waiting, clinging to hope, travels; the events and reactions too numerous and varied to detail. But one year on, Kelly's prognosis is excellent.

Kelly continues her work-a-day schedule, interrupted by those bi-monthly trips to NYC and by her 5-day chemo treatments. But she still manages to keep her office on the straight and narrow! That is, when school is in session. Between now and mid-January, we have nine - 9 -  National holidays. And, of course, Carnival Week  arrives in February and 40 days later we celebrate Holy Week. And don't forget the school's Jewish observances. Ahhhhh. Life in the tropics!
